Day 1274
Day 1274 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Bea Callahan is in Seahaven General after they caught a foot in the netting down at the dock. Toby Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
